BYD India has launched the Sealion 7 Festive Edition at ₹50.60 lakh (ex-showroom), adding a special model to its lineup for the festive season. Only 150 units will be sold across the country. The car is based on the mid-spec Premium trim and is distinguished by a Tan & Black dual-tone interior. It is part of BYD India’s “Celebrate Your Dreams with BYD” campaign, which targets rising demand in the premium electric vehicle segment.
What Is New in the Festive Edition?
The main change is inside the cabin. The standard Sealion 7 has an all-black layout, while the Festive Edition uses Tan & Black leatherette across the dashboard, seats, centre console and door trims. The aim is a warmer, more upmarket feel.
Beyond the interior, nothing else changes. The Festive Edition is mechanically identical to the Sealion 7 Premium variant, and its features and performance match that trim.

What BYD Says?
Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicle Business at BYD India, said the Festive Edition brings a distinctive Tan & Black interior to the Premium variant in a limited festive run. He added that it keeps the technology, safety and performance that define the Sealion 7, while offering a different look.
BYD’s Growing Footprint in India
BYD has delivered more than 15,000 electric vehicles in India since entering the passenger EV market. Its lineup includes the e6, Sealion 7, eMAX 7, Atto 3 and Seal. The Sealion 7 alone accounts for over 4,500 units on Indian roads.
The company sells through 49 showrooms across 40 cities.
Our Take
The Festive Edition is a cosmetic play rather than a technical one. Buyers get the same drivetrain, battery and safety kit as the Premium trim, with a different interior theme. The 150-unit cap adds exclusivity, which suits the festive buying season. For anyone who already wanted the Premium variant, the main question is whether the Tan & Black cabin is worth choosing. Since the source does not state the standard Premium trim’s price, buyers should compare the two at a BYD showroom before deciding.
